6.2 BATTERY RECHARGE
This instrument is equipped with an AC
adapter (see fig. 3) usable to recharge
the batteries.
When the AC adapter is connected
directly to the instrument (see fig. 2)
and the battery type selector (see fig. 1)
is set for rechargeable battery type, the
batteries will be recharged in trickle
charge mode.
Battery charge can be made with the
instrument switched ON or OFF.
The trickle charge current is about 50
mA.
In trickle charge mode, a complete
recharge can require up to:
- 12 hours for Ni/Cd cells;
- 20 hours for Ni/MH cells.
The optional Desk-top-stand
(see fig. 4) can provide a quick
recharge mode.
The quick recharge current is
equal to 250 mA.
In quick charge mode, a
complete recharge can require
up to:
- 3 hours for Ni/Cd cells;
- 5 hours for Ni/MH cells.
NOTE: it is not advisable to make a frequent use of the quick
charge mode (see chapter "Battery maintenance").
